Key Features

• Durable plastic bellows covers the strut shaft to block dirt, dust, sand, salt, and debris

Product Details

KYB SB160 is a suspension strut bellows built to shield the exposed strut shaft from contaminants that can accelerate wear. By covering the shaft, the boot helps keep abrasive material away from critical sealing surfaces and supports longer strut service life. The included bumper adds protection against bottoming out and helps limit damage from extreme suspension movement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Helps Address

• Road debris reaching the strut shaft and seal area
• Premature wear on the polished shaft surface
• Contamination-related bushing wear
• Impact damage from suspension bottoming out
• Exposure to salt, sand, and dust in daily driving

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front suspension fitment before installation on your Buick Envision. Inspect the strut shaft, seal area, and surrounding components for wear before replacing the boot. If the strut shows leakage or damage, replace the worn parts as needed during service.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a suspension manufacturer known for OE-style replacement components, and the SB160 follows that approach with a protective boot and bumper designed for front strut service on the 2016-2020 Buick Envision.
